I'm going to hunt wild boar in central FL, I've heard there's a lot of snakes and since my girlfriend saw this episode of "alive" on animalplanet about this guy getting nailed by a rattlesnake in FL, she's all over me about that.....
She says "it'll ruin her vacation if I get bitten"
We're not even married yet and already something smells fishy.....

So the question is, what should I do to prevent this.
Is snakeboots the answer ?

I live in florida and do alot of wild pig hunting. The area's where the pigs live are also a good place to find snakes. A good pair of snake boots is a good thing to have (or a pair of snake chaps). I would definately recomend them, but the best advice would be to watch where you step!

Good luck and let us know how you do!

Thankyou for that information Countryboy.

Well, is seems I'm a little late on this thread, but I just want to let you know that I have been through a few different brands of snake boots and the Danner Pronghorns are my favorite. I will probably buy another pair when I wear these out, although I have been wearing TurtleSkin Snake Gaiters lately, so it will be a while. I think I prefer the gaiters overall though as they are lighter, cooler, and more comfortable if you buy a good pair.

Here is a link to the site where I learned about the boots and gaiters: www.snakeproofgear.com

(hopefully I did it right and it works)
